What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Southern Alps
Vaughan Edmonds as a guide is excellent and knows his country very well. Pacing and just enough info on optional tours and hikes were great. Highly recommended
Walking in New Zealand
- NZ Intro South
The NZ South Island tour was amazing. Our group lead Tommy was really helpful and always willing to share his knowledge of NZ. Overall the 9 day South Island trip was so much fun and we visited some really beautiful destinations.
